Easter Basket Ideas for Toddlers (No Candy!)

March 30, 2021

Easter Basket Ideas for Toddlers (No Candy!)

When I was a kid, Easter baskets were a BIG deal. They were loaded with art supplies and fun surprises, and maybe a bit of candy. The Easter Bunny would hide them around the house, and my sisters and I would frantically search to find our own basket. It took me some real brainstorming to come up with Easter basket ideas for toddlers that did not include candy. (My first choice from my basket each year was a Cadbury egg!) But we don't often give Eleanor candy, so I rounded up a bunch of items …

The Best Pajama Brands for Tall Babies & Toddlers

When my daughter was about 4 months old, I realized just how hard it was to find clothes that fit her long torso. That’s why I wrote my guide to the best clothing brands for tall babies. Now I’m back with a pajama guide for tall babies and toddlers. These are five of our favorite brands for pajamas that actually fit well on tall bodies! ONE: Hanna Andersson (available in baby and toddler sizes) Hanna uses a thick cotton fabric, so these are perfect for even a New England …

How to Make a DIY Sensory Kit

I kept adding sensory kits to my cart on Etsy, only to close out and do it again the following week. I finally decided to just make my own sensory kit to see if it was something my three year old would actually play with before investing in the expensive ones. This is mostly because I wasn't sure how (or if) she would play with it, though I've heard other moms swear by them! I grabbed some Play-Doh from the stash we already have. Because this was a few weeks ago, I decided to go with …

Matching Christmas Outfits for Siblings

I am leaning in HARD this year to the Christmas season, including fun matching Christmas outfits for my kids. But I'm not talking just matching red plaid outfits for Christmas day. What about matching Christmas day outfits, plus Christmas pajamas and coordinating sweatshirts with Christmas movie quotes? Like I said, leaning in HARD. I pulled together some festive coordinating outfits for siblings below, including red plaid if you like that, green plaid if you aren't into red, and then some …

Favorite Non-Electronic Toddler Toys

Favorite Non-Electronic Toddler Toys

Like most moms, I cannot stand toys that make noise. Especially toys that make the same noise over and over and over. When I started to think about all of our favorite toys, I realized that they're all non-electronic toys. They don't need batteries, and they require a toddler to use imagination to play! I remember reading an article about toddler toys (I couldn't find it but will link it here if I do find the link!) that talked about the importance of imaginative play. You want your kids to …
